Plans for a new petrol station, drive-thrus and trade units at Dunball Roundabout have been revealed.

Developer, Monte Blackburn Ltd, has submitted an application to Sedgemoor District Council to build new hot food and coffee drive-thrus, three trade units and a petrol station with electric charging ports.

The site comprises of more than three hectares to the north east of Dunball Roundabout by junction 23 (Bridgwater) for the M5 and isn't far from the Hinkley Park C Park and Ride.

The applicants claim that up to 80 new jobs will be created, saying that it is "ideally located to accommodate the proposed uses and can assist in creating a gateway to Bridgwater."

The application description reads: "The development will increase the efficiency of an under-utilised and publicly inaccessible site, will provide a large number of new employment opportunities and will provide a much-needed fuel and convenience food and drink offer where no such facility exists."

According to the designs two new access routes will be built - a one-way single lane from the eastbound side of the A39 and a new road which will create a T-junction with the A38.

These roads will provide access for employees to the business units and for customers looking to re-fuel or grab a quick bite.

The plans do not disclose what coffee or fast food chains or businesses will build at the site.
